Billionaire God of War

"Even a powerful being like Greedy Wolf is being manipulated by the Demon King. What chance do we mere mortals have against the Demon King?" Jiang Ning heaved a sigh. "I would never put Jiang Yao at risk if I had another choice. She's my daughter, and I would take a bullet for her. However, there are many more people on earth that also need my protection. The only way I can keep Jiang Yao safe is if I keep everyone safe. Do you understand?"

Peter Pan remained silent.

The sound of his heavy breaths filled the room.

He understood everything Jiang Ning had said, but he could not accept the truth.

Use Jiang Yao? That's far too dangerous!

Now, Greedy Wolf was under the Demon King's control, and his mission was to obtain the last Source -Jiang Yao. Once he got his hands on it, chaos would ensue.

The fate of the world hung by a thread, and Jiang Ning, whom the burden had been laid upon, felt like he was walking on a tightrope. One wrong step and all of humanity would tumble into a chasm of lawlessness. There was only one way Jiang Ning could clinch this.

They could not afford to lose.

"Is there really no other choice? You can use me as bait!" Peter Pan offered himself up.

"I would be more than happy to let you take Jiang Yao's place if that could work, but as of now, Jiang Yao is our only hope," Jiang Ning said, anguished.

Peter Pan's fingers curled into fists as his eyes stung with tears.

"How confident are you?" he rasped.

A heavy silence blanketed the both of them before Jiang Ning spoke.

"Not very."

It took every ounce of Peter Pan's self-control to not ram his fist into Jiang Ning's face. He's not confident, and yet he made such a risky decision?

The urge to strangle Jiang Ning overwhelmed Peter Pan, but he knew all too well that Jiang Ning wasProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

right. It was the only way they could succeed.

There was no longer an incentive for Greedy Wolf to reappear. In the last battle, Greedy Wolf had openly told Jiang Ning that he saw the wickedness within Jiang Ning. With that knowledge, there was nothing that the Greedy Wolf had to worry about. All he needed to do was wait for the Demon King to rouse.

The end was inevitable, so there was no point in exposing himself.

Now, the only thing that could entice Greedy Wold was Jiang Yao. As the last Source, not only could she escalate the Demon King's revival, but she would also enhance his powers to the point of achieving eternal life.

Peter Pan was a jumble of emotions. Anger, resignation, and self-blame churned within him. I should have murdered Greedy Wolf when I had the chance. We wouldn't be in this position if I had. But now, thanks to my lack of foresight, my disciple has to bear the consequences.

"It's all my fault! If I had killed Greedy Wolf earlier, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault!" Peter Pan bawled, crushed by crippling disappointment.

"No one is to blame here, and it'll do us no good anyway. What we have to do now is to lure Greedy Wolf out and use this chance to murder him." Jiang Ning said. "First, we need to go to the Underworld and awaken the past demon kings. Then, we'll harness their power to demolish the demon soul fragment within Greedy Wolf. This is the only solution. We must only succeed. We can't fail this task."

To succeed and not fail was common sense.

However, it was easier said than done. Accomplishing a mission of this difficulty often entailed sacrifice.

This was nothing to Peter Pan. His only concern was whether Jiang Yao would get hurt in the process. The grief of losing his disciple would be too much for him to bear. "Jiang Ning!" he called out.

Glowering at Jiang Ning, Peter Pan warned, "If I find even a nick on my disciple's skin, you're dead meat."

Jiang Ning would undoubtedly be the most sorrowful should an accident occur to Jiang Yao, but this did not faze Peter Pan. He did not care if Jiang Ning or anyone else was in agony. His disciple was the center of his universe, and he could not stand to see her hurt.

Jiang Ning nodded sombrely.

"I would die before anything happened to her."

Peter Pan's heart squeezed when he heard Jiang Ning's words.

He knew that Jiang Ning suffered the most from makingthis decision. Jiang Yao was his daughter and the light of his life. His love for her surpassed anything else in this world.

Nevertheless, Jiang Ning was forced to make the decision to protect everyone. It was the only way he could save his own family.

No one could fathom the weight that sat upon Jiang Ning's shoulders.
